The Los Angeles Kings loaned forwards Kenny Connors and Jared Wright to their AHL affiliate, the Ontario Reign, on Saturday, according to the club's roster announcement.

The Kings also placed forward Taylor Ward and defenceman Scott Perunovich on waivers for the purpose of assigning them to Ontario. They must clear waivers before that assignment can be completed. Los Angeles recalled defenceman Kirill Kirsanov from the Reign.

These moves involve a different group from the Kings' Sept. 24 camp cuts.
